If you have been to our office, you probably could not help but notice the two large canvases of our pet bunny, Noodle, hanging in the waiting room.

Sadly, Noodle unexpectedly passed away last week, just as we were about to turn our attention to creating this month's newsletter.

Meanwhile, below are a few blogs we published over the summer. Due to vacations and other seasonal adventures, you probably missed some of them, so check them out.

Thanks,

Read Jonah's guest column in
Boston Baseball Magazine in which he discusses two common misconceptions regarding Pablo Sandoval's weight and the harm we are doing to others, particularly children, by disparaging his body the way that we have.
